-5C. = +23F. That is warm in the world of pumping engine oil.
Drain down and time required to pump up is your concern.
If your startup had symptoms like clattering or prolonged oil light ON, you'd be thinking of oil pump condition or clogging/starvation.
You needn't concern yourself.
Using quality oil + filter + timely maintenance is what's needed.
My truck engine, a 4.0l SOHC V6 Ford vintage 2005, squealed briefly but harshly when started after a 48 hour nap.
The engine features oil charged timing chain tensioners.
I read about priming the oil system and trusted the feedback.
With a good battery, it took 8 seconds of cranking to kill the idiot light.
That was condemned as completely unnecessary by the fine people here. They suggested I was going to burn up my starter.
2-3 seconds is all the cranking I ever need to eliminate any startup noise.
Also, it's been my experience that ADB valves' work from 0% to 100%.
